To the best of
my memory, before I came to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, I did not believe
the Bible was true. I doubted whether there was a God and believed that
we were born, lived so many years, and then died. I owned a successful
business and thought that I had succeeded by my own wits.One evening, my wife and I heard some documentation
that these were the last days before Jesus Christ would actually return.
Not really wanting to hear it, I almost walked out. Something kept me
there, and I listened. I was not convinced. I still had doubts whether
or not there was a God. I doubted whether there really was a Satan, heaven,
hell, or a judgment. Just to be sure, however, I decided to do a little
research. My idea was to find out if the Bible was really true.
Indeed, if I could find one contradiction, one error, or anything in the Bible
that was not true, then that would be all that was needed to disregard it.
(I wasn't necessarily interested in whether we were in the latter days or not,
but just trying to find out if the Bible was really true.) I believed
this would take a very short time.As I have learned, the Bible has about 10,000
prophecies. Nearly one-third of the Bible is directly or indirectly related
to prophecy. This endeavour led me into far more research than I could
have suspected. One thing needed, was to determine when the Bible was
actually written. Because of this, a study of biblical history and archaeology
was necessary. I found the Old Testament was indeed written before the
coming of Jesus, as the Dead Sea Scrolls (containing parts of the book of Isaiah)
were proven to have been written before Jesus came. The book of Isaiah
includes forecasts of Jesus. Thousands of clay tablets have also been
found, which confirm many accounts in the Bible.I began studying the prophecies in the Bible.
My wife would go to the library for me to obtain documentation from reference
books to see if the prophecies really did take place. One day went by,
then two days, and then a week. Every prophecy that we were able to get
information on proved to be accurate. Two weeks went by. Then four
weeks passed. My job became of secondary importance. Every prophecy
that we were able to verify checked as being true. I was astonished, but
far from convinced. I still had doubts as to whether there was a God,
a heaven, or a hell—yet I had to be sure. Later, there were people who
would show me what appeared to be contradictions in the Bible, yet these were
not contradictions at all, but only a lack of research on the part of those
that said these things. I was searching to find if the Bible was true.
My wife spent a lot of time at the library making copies of various reference
materials, which I would check out against the Scriptures. Stubborn, that's
me. Even after four weeks of intensive study, proving prophecy after prophecy
was true, I was still skeptical and refused to believe. I began taking
more time off from my business and investing it in study. One month turned
into two, and two months turned into four. The more I researched, the
more determined I became. It wasn't possible. The Bible could not
be perfect. Thousands of prophecies, and every one perfect? No,
impossible! Sixty-six books written by many people over hundreds of years
and not one error? If I would admit that, I would have to admit there
was a God, and I was not prepared to do it, even after months of research.My studies also included various translations
of the Bible, checking prophecies against reference books, archaeological discoveries,
just to mention some. It became an obsession with me. My foremost
desire was to know the truth. Four months turned into many months.
I’ve never known anyone, before or since, that was willing to take this amount
of time just to find out if the Bible was true. Finally, I had to admit—I
was wrong.If you would walk across the street 10,000
times and never get hit, then you would walk across the street the next time
by faith. So it was with me. Finally, after spending almost countless
hours of research, I had to admit the Bible is true and is indeed the perfect
Word of God. Anyone willing to take the time I did and do the same research,
could only come to the same conclusion, if they are honest with themselves.
I may have been the biggest skeptic in the world, but now I know. It did
not come easy, but by God’s mercy and grace, it did come.Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of
God. I know that there is none other name under heaven given among men
whereby we MUST be saved (EXCEPT JESUS). We need to REPENT of our sins
and receive Jesus Christ as our only hope of salvation, by FAITH. Eph
2:8-10-FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES;
IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.
FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD
HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM. Call on Jesus NOW to
be YOUR Lord and Savior. It is written, EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME
AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN-Mt 18:3.
Afterward, we are to be baptized in the name of the FATHER, AND OF THE SON,
AND OF THE HOLY GHOST-Mt 28:19. Baptism is by full immersion in water—
BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM-Ro 6:4. We are to OBEY the Gospel-Heb 5:9.
Jesus loves us. We are to LOVE GOD and keep His commandments. For
Jn 14:15 says, IF YE LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.

2-THE
SOON COMING CLIMAX
(bIBLE PROPHECY—a very brief summary)
(pROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE AND WE ARE NOW IN THE LATTER DAYS)

This message may
be called a road sign of warning. Some may look at a sign that
reads—THE BRIDGE IS OUT, and say, “Oh, someone is just trying to scare us into
taking another road; let’s go on the same way.” They go on and plunge
to their death. The sign was not meant to scare people, but to warn them
of impending danger. The sign was put there, because someone cared and
didn’t want others to die.

God wants you
to know, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS (the prophecies from the Bible
in this message), KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH AT HAND-Lk 21:31.

Will Russia and some Arab
nations invade Israel? Yes

Will the U.S.A. become involved
in this war? Yes.

Did you know the Bible tells
us about what is happening?

3-WHAT
IS GOING ON?

People have said
the end was near many times in the past—true. But did you know the Bible
shows us no prophecy of the latter days meant anything until Israel was reborn
into a nation? Did you know God’s Word indicates to us a generation would
not pass from Israel’s rebirth, till all be fulfilled (which includes the Rapture,
the Tribulation, and Jesus Christ’s return)? A Jewish generation can be
figured from the age of 20. We are in that time period now. We are
not setting any dates, but are giving you a warning sign to watch and be ready.

Many people have
been preaching about the latter days of the end times in churches, on radio,
TV, and through books. Some include Billy Graham, Hal Lindsey, Rex Humbard,
Ray Brubaker, John Hagee, David Breese, Zola Levitt, Jack Van Impe, and Peter
Lalonde, just to mention a few. Even people who do not know the Bible
can sense something is about to happen. To them that understand the Bible,
no explanation is needed. To them that are prideful, self-centered, that
love this world, that despise God’s correction, that are contentious and seeking
the praise of men rather than of God, no explanation is possible-ref Dan 12:4,10;
Mt 24:37, 39.

A dying declaration
is considered proof in a court of law. Why is this? When you are
dying, it is the one time you don’t lie. Christ’s words as He was dying
on the cross for your sins are evidence. Jesus said, FATHER FORGIVE THEM
FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO-Lk 23:34. Just before being hung on the
cross, He said He was the Son of God-ref Mt 27:43; Mk 14:62.

It has been said
that it is virtually impossible for anyone to make 11 straight predictions,
2000 years into the future. There is only one chance in 8 x 10 to the
63rd power, or 80 with 63 zeros after it that such a thing could
be done. If such a set of predictions existed, it would have to be the
Word of God.

Consider, could
you write eleven straight predictions that would take place 2000 years in the
future, the year 4000 A.D.? Include the rebirth of a specific nation and
exactly how it would be reborn. Include specific nations that would exist
and certain nations that would be allied together, and the exact size of a nation’s
army. Include what the people would be like in the year 4000. Include
what the church would be like in those days. Include the names of actual
cities that would exist and name certain crops and fruit trees that would exist.
Do eleven straight prophecies, and be exactly correct on every single one.
The Bible not only does this eleven times, but hundreds of times with absolute,
perfect accuracy. If this is so, even the most skeptical person would
have to agree that there is indeed a God, and the Bible has to be the Word of
God. 2 Peter 1:20,21 KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE
IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME
BY THE WILL OF MAN: BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY
GHOST. O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE
SPOKEN-Lk 24:25. However, believing there is a God and acknowledging the
Bible is the Word of God does not save a person. A person needs to repent
of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as their only hope of being saved.
This is done by faith.

Let’s prove the
Bible is true and that we are nearing the end of the last generation before
Christ returns.

1.
The Jewish people would be scattered worldwide; yet Israel would become a
nation again-ref Isa 66:8; Mic 5:3. Prophecy fulfilled. This
happened exactly as predicted on May 14, 1948. That’s 1 out of 1.Note: Israel was destroyed in approximately
721 B.C. and Judah about 135 years later. For the last 2500 years, approximately
fourteen different peoples have possessed the land of Israel. Nevertheless,
the Bible showed that the day would come when the nation of Israel would be
reborn.The rebirth of Israel was a key sign, indicating
we had entered a time period called the latter days. It was the beginning
of a countdown leading to the Tribulation and culminating with the Battle of
Armageddon and the return of Jesus immediately after. Along with the fulfillment
of this crucial event are over 360 prophecies that would all come together,
so we might recognize that the Tribulation is very close at hand. Twenty
nine of them are listed here.Yet the Bible foretells that most
people would not believe these things, despite the overwhelming evidence of
the fulfillment of the signs from God’s Word and the incredible rebirth of Israel
happening exactly as predicted. As people refused to believe the flood
was coming in Noah’s time, so people today willingly choose to disregard the
signs of the times.

2.
Israel shall be brought forth in one day, at once-ref Isa 66:8.Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 2 out of 2.Note: On Nov. 29, 1947, the General Assembly
of the U.N. approved a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish
state in Palestine. On the morning of May 14, 1948 (the last day of the
British mandate), a meeting of the People’s Council took place in Israel to
decide on the name of the state and to finalize the declaration. At exactly
4pm, the proclamation ceremony began at the Tel Aviv museum. The 979 Hebrew
words of the Scroll of Independence were read. All stood, and the scroll
was adopted. The notorious White Paper, issued by the British in 1930
restricting Jewish immigration, was declared null and void. Members of
the People’s Council signed the proclamation. David Ben-Gurion rapped
his gavel, declaring, “The State of Israel is established. This meeting
is ended.” Israel was brought forth as a nation in one day, at once.
It happened exactly as predicted. At midnight, the British soldiers and
high commissioner would leave. President Truman was swift in announcing
U.S. recognition of Israel. The following morning, on May 15, Israel was
under armed attack by the Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, and Iraqis.

3.
The rebirth of Israel would happen after many days. It would occur
a long time in the future after the prophecy was made and at the time the bible
calls the latter days-Ezek 38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948.
That’s 3 out of 3.Note: It is estimated that this prophecy
was made around 580 B.C. Approximately 2500 years later, in 1948, this
prophecy was fulfilled.

4.
Israel would be brought forth (or reborn) “out of the nations.”-Ezek
38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 4 out of 4.Note: As previously stated, on Nov. 29, 1947,
the General Assembly of the “United Nations” approved a resolution
calling for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. This prophecy
was perfectly fulfilled. Consider, for centuries the land of Israel had
been occupied by many nations. Israel was “brought forth out of the nations”—the
children of Israel from many nations were returning to their ancient homeland.

5.
Israel must regain the city of Jerusalem-Joel 2:32; Isa 28:14; Ezek 22:19.
This happened just as predicted in 1967. That’s 5 out of 5.Note: The Bible gives us two methods so we
would know we are in the last generation. One is by Israel’s rebirth.
The other, by a precise line of events that would all come together at one time.
Israel was reborn on May 14th, 1948. The Bible indicates that
from Israel’s rebirth a generation would not pass till all be fulfilled.
A Jewish generation is figured from the age of 20 to 60 (1968). We are
not setting any date, but it seems clear that we are living in that generation
now.

6.
The Christian church at the time of the end would be lukewarm, neither cold
nor hot for Jesus. Prophecy fulfilled. That’s 6 out of 6. Note: God will spew them out. Many
church leaders and people that call themselves a Christian and are sure they
are saved will not be going to heaven. The Bible tells us—you have acquired
wealth, but your true condition is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked
and you don’t know it-Rev 3:14-22. This is today’s church.
Most churches preach very little Scripture, but lots of worldly stories.
Many sing a great deal, but put very little emphasis on repentance, obeying,
serving, and fearing God, the fruits of the Spirit, Bible prophecy, water baptism
by immersion, and studying your Bible faithfully every day. Many are only
entertainment centers that teach what their members want to hear. People
will not endure sound doctrine-2 Tim 4:3. They turn away from the truth-2
Tim 4:4. Many church members are so lukewarm or dead, they don’t even
bring their Bibles with them to the house of God. Many ministers think
this is the best church age ever, yet the Bible clearly shows it is the worst
and most deceived.

7.

The Bible gives us over
50 descriptions about the people at the time of the end. Here are
some:

A.

Some would depart from the faith and go into
devil worship-1 Tim 4:1. This is perfect. Reportedly
in Great Britain alone, there are about 35,000 professing witches.

B.

People would have no conscience-1 Tim
4:1,2.

C.

People would mock about the last days and
not believe-2 Pe 3:3; Jude 18.

D.

People would become lovers of themselves-2
Tim 3:1,2. Remember the TV commercials—“I do it for me”?

People would be without self-control in sex-2
Tim 3:1,2,6; Rev 9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is this not
the great sex generation?

I.

People would be untrustworthy, friends would
betray friends-2 Tim 3:1-3.

J.

People would love pleasures more than God-2
Tim 3:1,2,4. This is true. Shall we go on a picnic,
watch football, or sleep. Church?—we can go another time.
Our American motto “In God we trust” has become a joke.
Remember, these were all predicted centuries ago as part of the
signs that we are at the time of the end.

K.

People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21.
The Greek word for sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means pharmaceuticals
or drugs. God’s Word is 100% right on every one. That’s
7 out of 7. How could you have any doubts at this point? Note: Fifty years ago, many people
never locked their doors at night. People could leave their
keys in their car. Merchants could leave their merchandise
on the sidewalk without guards, and there was no profanity on
television, radio, or in the movies. One of the biggest
problems in public school was gum chewing. Those days are
long gone.

8.
There would be weapons that could destroy the world-Mk 13:20; Rev 6:8;
Rev 9:18; Zech 14:8,12. This prophecy is true. That’s 8 out of 8.Note: When in our history would anyone have
ever thought this possible? It is estimated that the combined nuclear
arsenals of the USA and Russia (as of the year 2000) could kill every living
thing on earth 6 times over.

9.
There would be an increase in earthquakes-Mt 24:2,3,7; Mk 13:8; Lk 21:11.
This prophecy is correct. That’s 9 out of 9.Note: One might think as the earth settled
over a period of time that earthquakes would decrease like ripples in the water.
Yet the Bible indicates the opposite is true. In this last generation, research
from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center reveals
that major earthquakes of a magnitude of 6.0 or higher have remained relatively
constant during this century. However, the total number of earthquakes
in recent years appear to be rising. For example, it was reported that
in 1986, the total number of earthquakes was 12,718. In l990, it was 16,612.
In 1994, it was 19,371. This will culminate during the Battle of Armageddon,
AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS. At that time, there will be an earthquake
that will shake the world. The cities of the nations will fall.
Every island will flee away.

10.
At the time of the end, there would be famines in various places.
Food shortages would still exist in some places-Mt 24:3,4,7; ref Mk 13:8; Lk
21:11. This prophecy is accurate. That’s 10 out of 10.Note: In this last generation, many are starving
in the world. Poverty and crop failure, due to severe weather, drought,
or insect infestation, are often a factor. Many people are born, live,
and die on the streets, in alleyways, or railroad stations in some countries
of the world. Multitudes live in mud houses with grass or palm branches
for a roof or have no place to live at all. Billions have no electricity.
In some nations, good drinking water is almost nonexistent. Senseless
wars have left millions of people with no place to go. Refugee camps exist
in many places where people live under conditions that are almost indescribable.
They are hungry.One such person was asked, as I recall, “What
would it take for you to consider yourself rich?” His reply was, “I would
consider myself rich, if I could have a roof over my head that did not leak,
and if I could know what it is like to go to bed at night with a full stomach.”
It has been estimated that 60,000,000 people a year die from starvation
around the world. This prophecy is accurate.

11.
The Gospel must be published in all the world-Mk 13:10. This prophecy
is exact. That’s 11 out of 11.Note: In this last generation, to our knowledge,
the Gospel is being published (or is about to be published) in the primary language
of every nation of the world or “among all nations.” Yet when this prophecy
was made, the possibility of such a thing would have seemed impossible.
There was no printing press or any means to do such a thing. In addition
to this, the Gospel should be available by short-wave radio to listeners anywhere
in the world. We have just reached the point that seemed impossible—11
perfect predictions—yet with God nothing is impossible.

12.
In the latter days when Israel was once again a nation, there would be a
great military power to the extreme north of Israel in the land of Magog (which
is modern-day Russia)-Ezek 38:2-4,8,15,16. Incredible. That’s
14 out of 14.Note: How could the Bible have foretold such
a thing? It told the location of this nation, facts about its military,
and even the time period it would come to pass. As was already said in
Lk 24:25-O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN.
Certainly, at this point, even the biggest skeptic in the world can see that
the Bible is true, there is a God, and we are very near the time of the end.

Here are just a few
more prophecies briefly given, out of the 365 that exist, regarding this latter
day generation.

13.
In the last days, people would be hoarding gold and silver. True.
It began in the late 1970’s.

14.
There would be a nation to the far east of Israel, to the end of the earth.
This nation would have an army of 200 million. This is absolutely
astounding. It is estimated by some that the population of the entire
world at the time of Christ was only about 200,000,000. How then could
the Bible have ever told the location of a nation and given such a figure as
the size of its army nearly 2000 years ago? China has boasted that they
could field an army of this exact figure.

15.
The currency in Israel at the time of the end would be the shekel.
The currency had been the Israeli pound until June 1980, when it was changed
to the shekel. The Bible is flawless.

16.
There would be an economic alliance of the nations of the Old Roman Empire.
It would have a military capability. This is a perfect description
of the European Economic Community (the EEC), which is in the process right
now of adopting the one-currency system for many of their member nations.
It is written, IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these nations, which is now) SHALL
THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM-Dan 2:44.

About 29 prophecies
in 16 sets have been given, all perfect and all written centuries ago.
The chance of any person writing 29 perfect prophecies 2000 years into the future
is not possible. The Bible is the Word of God, and we have just proved
it. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Repent and get baptized by
full immersion. Read and obey the Gospel. God loves you. He
is not willing that any should perish. The Rapture is close. Most
people are not ready and will not be taken. However, “YOU” cannot say
you did not know. Know and understand, Mt 16:26-WHAT
IS A MAN PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?
OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?

4-WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT? THE RAPTURE AND TRIBULATION

RAPTURE
is a term used to describe the removal from the earth of all living people that
have been born-again as evidenced by their fruits. Just prior to
the Tribulation coming about, the Rapture will take place. The number
that will be raptured will be far fewer than most people might think.
The Bible unmistakably portrays the raptured saints in heaven before the throne
of God, prior to the Antichrist coming forth and the Tribulation beginning.
The Scripture tells us, in the twinkling of an eye, we shall be changed and
be with Jesus in the air. 1 Cor 15:51,52-WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE
SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP:
FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND; 1 Thes 4:16,17-AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE
FIRST, THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM
IN THE CLOUDS. We may be asleep, immediately we will be with Jesus.
All the unbelievers, the lukewarm Christians, and those that did not obey the
Gospel will be left to face the Tribulation. (For an in-depth study of
the Rapture, click here.)

THE TRIBULATION
is the worst time in history since man has been on the earth. Immediately
following the Rapture, the man of sin (called the Antichrist) comes forth
and assumes control of the EEC. He can be expected to be very charismatic
and brilliant. He confirms a treaty with Israel and others, which begins
the Tribulation.It is a 7 year period, but the Lord may have
shortened the first 3 1/2 years in some way-ref Mk 13:20; Ro 9:28. We
are not setting a date; however, we are now living in that generation in which
this will happen. Hate, murder, thefts, rape, and every imaginable form
of evil will abound. During this horrible period of God’s wrath, Russia,
Iran, and other nations will come against Israel. The USA becomes involved.
One-fourth of the world’s population will die. Many of the dead will be
from the USA, as well as Russia. One-third of trees are burned up.
All green grass is burned up. One-third of the sea will become blood.
One-third of the creatures in the sea will die. One-third of the ships
are destroyed. One-third of the waters become wormwood (or poisoned, or
radioactive). Massive famines, increased earthquakes, and more diseases
will happen as birth pangs of a woman. Those left alive will have opportunities
to receive Jesus through the preaching of 144,000 male, virgin Jews; however,
death by decapitation lies ahead for most that put their trust in Jesus, unless
they renounce their faith. There will also be many false Christs and false
prophets. A one-world, false religion that God calls MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH will increase.
This religion has existed for hundreds of years and exists today. The
nations of the world have become intoxicated with her false teachings.
The temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt.

About 3½ years
from the end of the Tribulation, the Antichrist (also called the beast) is killed
with a wound in the head by a weapon, but his deadly wound will be healed.
He will come back to life. He then declares himself to be God and moves
into the temple in Jerusalem. A false prophet appears that will do great
wonders. The sacrifices at the temple will be stopped. The abomination
of desolation occurs. An image of the Antichrist will be set on a wing
of the temple. Those that refuse to worship it will be beheaded.
The elect born-again Jews now flee for their lives to a place where God
will hide them and take care of them during the last three and a half years.
Power is given to the Antichrist over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
All that dwell on the earth shall worship the Antichrist, whose names are not
written in the book of life of the Lamb. During these last three and a
half years (called the Great Tribulation), world conditions will continue to
worsen. A one-world system will be set up. The Antichrist shall
make war against the saints and will overcome them. People will be required
to take the mark of the Antichrist or the number of his name (666) in
or on their forehead or right hand. If they refuse, they cannot
buy or sell. Two prophets of God will appear. One of them is Elijah.
Their ministry lasts 1260 days. They warn people not to take the mark
or worship the image. There is no forgiveness from God afterward for those
that take the mark and worship the image. They will go to the eternal
lake of fire. These two witnesses have the power to shut up heaven that
it rain not during their days on the earth. They have the power to bring
all kinds of plagues on the earth. Multitudes will be slain for the Word
of God. Locusts will sting men with a sting like a scorpion. It
will be so bad that men will seek death and shall not find it. There will
be terrible sores upon men. The rivers and fountains will become blood.
Men will be scorched with great heat. Earthquakes continue to get worse
and worse. Diseases will continue to get worse and worse. Two hundred
million troops will march to Israel from the east and cross the dried up Euphrates
River. One-third more of the earth’s population will be killed. After
the 1260 days, the two prophets of God will be killed. People will rejoice,
but then after three and a half days, they will arise and ascend up to heaven
as people watch. Great fear falls on those that see this. Men will
be so terrified that their hearts will fail, as they consider what is about
to happen. Multitudes will hide in the rocks and say, “FALL ON US AND
HIDE US FROM...HIM (Jesus)…FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; AND WHO SHALL
BE ABLE TO STAND?”-Rev 6:16,17.

5-IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE TRIBULATION

Immediately after
the tribulation of those days, the Battle of Armageddon explodes. It lasts
one day. The kings and armies of the earth are gathered to make war against
Jesus. Jesus Christ returns as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords with
all His saints. If He had not returned exactly when He did, there should be
no life left on earth. The Antichrist and false prophet are cast alive
into the lake of fire. Satan is chained for one thousand years, so he
can deceive the nations no longer till the thousand years be fulfilled.
Every force of nature is likely to be unleashed at once, including killer tornadoes,
hurricanes, tidal waves, lightning encircling the earth, and the biggest earthquake
in mankind’s history. The cities and the mountains of the world will crumble.
The Bible tells that every island fled away. The mountains were not found.
There is great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of 70 to l00
pounds. The earth will move out of its place. At the end of that
one day, there are so few people left alive that a child could write the number.This may all sound like a fairy tale, but
remember—from Israel’s rebirth to the Tribulation, there are about 365 prophecies.
In addition, there are over 10,000 prophecies in the Bible and every one
up to this time has come true without a single exception. THE FOOL HAS
SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD-Ps 14:1.

6-ARE
YOU READY TO MEET JESUS?

If you had a sudden
heart attack or the Rapture came in the next five minutes, are you sure you
are ready to meet God? You may say, I believe I’m a good person.
The Bible says all of your righteous deeds ARE AS FILTHY RAGS. You may
be religious and go to church, but if you died right now—you would perish to
hell. Why? Because you have not been born-again. You may say,
“Well my church never preaches like this.” Will you trust your religion
or what the Bible says? If you choose not to accept God’s way to enter
heaven, then you are choosing eternal separation from God. God loves you.

7-YOU
MAY ASK, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? FOUR THINGS.

1. You must
admit that you are a sinner. The Bible tells us, ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME
SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.2. Be willing to change, to forsake
all sin, to humble yourself and live for Jesus. Repent. Be willing
to ask God for His help to make that
change. The Bible tells us, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.
WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.
Jesus tells us, HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.3. Believe in your heart Jesus Christ
is God’s only begotten Son, God Who came to this earth in human form. Believe
He died for your sins. It is written, THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN
GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. If you are caught robbing a
bank, you have to go to jail. Jesus never sinned. When He died on
the cross, He did not die for the things He did. He died to pay your jail
sentence.4. Ask for forgiveness. Ask for
God’s mercy. By faith receive Jesus Christ as your only hope of salvation.
Afterwards, be willing to get baptized by full immersion in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.Nicodemus was considered a very religious
man in the Bible; however, in Jn 3:3, Jesus tells him it is not enough.
You MUST BE BORN AGAIN. You must ask for God’s forgiveness. You
must confess Him publicly. Whenever Jesus called someone he did it publicly.
He said in Mt 10:32-WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL
I CONFESS ALSO BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. As
it is also written, BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH
YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR-1 Pe 3:15.

I am going to
ask you to make that decision for Jesus right now. You need to repent
and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Please kneel right where you
are. Can you feel God calling you right now? Is your heart pounding?
You may have been baptized or confirmed, but something inside you is saying,
“Be sure.” Perhaps you have strayed from God and need to rededicate your
life to Jesus now. Would you rather go to be with God or the lake of fire?
You have that choice right now. God wants you to receive the gift of eternal
life. Are you sure there is not a sin, there is nothing that stands between
you and God? But you may know there is. The Bible tells us THERE
IS A WAY WHICH SEEMETH RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF
DEATH. Jesus wants you to KNOW HIM, to have a personal relationship
with Him. It’s not a matter of whether you think you know Jesus,
but does Jesus know you?

Right now, kneel
and pray this prayer out loud, and mean it with all your heart.

DEAR JESUS, I AM A SINNER. I BELIEVE YOU ARE
THE SON OF GOD AND DIED FOR MY SINS ON THE CROSS. FORGIVE ALL
OF MY SINS. JESUS, I REPENT. I ASK YOU TO HAVE MERCY ON
ME, A SINNER, AND COME INTO MY LIFE. GIVE ME YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR
POWER. HELP ME TO FOLLOW AND OBEY YOUR COMMANDMENTS, AND TO LIVE
FOR YOU. JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR HEARING
MY PRAYER. THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE. I ASK IT IN
THE NAME OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

8-IF
YOU JUST SAID THAT PRAYER AND MEANT IT

We recommend you
now read your Bible every day faithfully—5 chapters a day. Begin with
the Gospel of John, and read it through three times. Next go to Matthew
and read the New Testament through three times. Then begin reading the
entire Bible in order, beginning with Genesis. As God opens up His Word
to you, obey it. Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only, deceiving
yourself-ref Ja 1:22. As you are faithful, God will open your understanding
of His Word more and more.Find a good Bible-teaching church that teaches
God’s Word, not just stories about worldly things. Attend often and get
baptized. Tell others that Jesus is your only hope of salvation.
If you’ve just said that prayer and committed your life to Jesus, please e-mail
us and let us know. We would like to pray for you and send you some free
literature.

9-FINAL
NOTE ON SALVATION

Many people are
positive that they are saved. They base this on emotions. They may
make certain comments, such as, “I am a good person. I do what is right.
I’m not as bad as that person. I had an experience with God. I feel
that I am saved. I can feel God is with me. I know the Holy Spirit
is inside of me. I am a preacher, an elder, a prophet, or a preacher’s
wife. I have prayed, and God answered my prayer. I believe in God.
God did this or that for me. I sing in the choir. I go to church.
I praise and worship God. I give my money to the church. I was baptized.”
While all of this sounds very nice, it is not based upon biblical knowledge.
Many that are now in hell have said such things. The Pharisees in the
New Testament also could have said many of these things, but Jesus showed them
clearly they were not saved.If you have received Jesus Christ, God’s
only begotten Son, as your Lord and Savior, it is because God in His mercy has
opened your understanding. As it is written, FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED
THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS,
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST
JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN
THEM-Eph 2:8-10.“After” we believe on Jesus Christ,
“after” we have repented of our sins, we are commanded to be baptized
by full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. It is written, HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED;
BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED-Mk 16:16. Note, believing on
Jesus comes “before” water baptism. Baptism prior to repenting and believing
on Jesus has no meaning. You cannot be baptized into One on Whom you do
not believe. It is written, FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO
CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST-Gal 3:27. Water baptism is by full immersion.
As it is written, BURIED WITH HIM (with Jesus) IN BAPTISM (or buried in
the water)-Col 2:12, ref Ro 6:4. Jesus commanded, GO YE THEREFORE, AND
TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON,
AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE
COMMANDED YOU: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
AMEN-Mt 28:19,20.Surrender means “you give up.” You
stop putting your will before God’s will. You allow Jesus (God’s Word)
to reign over you. You submit to Jesus and let Him become the Lord of
your life.If you have not humbled yourself, and totally
surrendered to Jesus, and become as a little child (ref Mt 18:3), and continued
steadfast in the faith, I would suggest that NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD,
NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION-2 Cor 6:2. Please submit to God, say the prayer,
and mean it with all of your heart. God loves YOU and cares.It is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR
HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH
PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM-1 Cor 2:9.

I
CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE
YOU LIFE AND
DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT…THOU…MAY LIVE-Deut
30:19.
I HAVE SET BEFORE THEE THIS DAY LIFE AND GOOD, AND DEATH AND EVIL-Deut 30:15.
